 Ugljevik - mine and thermo power plan (M&TPP) located in North-East part of Bosnia and Herzegovina - M&TPP Ugljevik is only 30 km far from international border with Croatia and 25 km from Serbia. There are settlements very close to the M &TPP, and the most inhabited place, with some 5,000 residents, is Ugljevik. Wastewaters at the M&TPP are discharged into the Janja and Mezgraja Rivers, whose waters are used to irrigate orchards and crops, as well as to water livestock. Janja and Mezgraja rivers are tributaries of Drina River that belong to Sava and Danube water basin. A significant amount of water with high concentration of salts is continuously discharged into the river Janja. Such pollution has enormous negative effects locally and regionally.
The proposed intervention under this programme would be focused on reconstruction and renewal of systems for de-mineralization and de-carbonization, as well as for remediation of discharge site. Application of new technology together with reconstruction of present technological process will result in overall decrease of 35-40% in the quantity of wastewater that originates from demineralization and de-carbonization process. Most important result would be the overall decrease of produced wastewater in the amount of 17.000m3/year and amount of discharged salts in the river would be decreased for 45 tons/year.

 Tuzla, Bosnia and Herzegovina - The area of Tuzla municipality is one of the most polluted areas in B&H, especially in three following segments:
-
worst air quality - due to emissions from thermo power plant, industrial heat production facilities and individual heating systems;
-
most polluted water streams - due to enormous discharge of waste waters; and
-
significant areas with degraded soil - due to uncontrolled exploitation of coal, salt and quark sand.
According to available data, pollutions from industrial heat production facilities and individual heating systems are the second major pollutant in the area. Air quality in urban part of Tuzla during heating season is mostly II and III category (polluted or very polluted air), and very often there are episodes of critical air pollution especially with sulphur dioxide with concentration of 400 μg/m³, which is 3-4 times more than maximum allowed amount. The proposed intervention under this programme would enable the Clinical Medical Centre Tuzla and its Clinic for Lung Diseases to be connected to the Tuzla city district heating system. This would enable the two Centres to cease producing heat in their facilities and creating the air pollution by combusting large amounts of dark coal, which contains large percentage of particularly dangerous sulphur.
